~ Sayonara Speech From Diana ~

Dear all,

Here I am, jotting down some stuff in this little column so that even after leaving this department, my wishes will still be with all of you here.

It has been exactly one year since I came. Throughout this whole year, I have learnt things that are priceless. The guidance that were given, care that I have been showered with, companionship from colleagues and even some conflicts between people which will never be forgotten. All this experiences are irreplaceable and will be deeply engraved in my heart.

Despite the fact that this department consist of more than 20 people; every one of you are jewels to me – in the sense that I have something to learn from everyone here. It is the uniqueness in everyone that makes this department whole. I hope (though I’m not qualified to bear hope for R&D – but I insist on “hope’ing’”) everyone will continue living as one big family – to learn from one another and most of all, as a family, to make use of the strength to bring the best out of yourself.

Guess that’s all that I can think of right now. So many ineffable feelings but to round them up, One year may be too short for work experiences but One year is just right for me to steer to the direction I vaguely see. If it’s not for everyone here, I might still be lost in the midst of the sea. It is here that I gathered my courage to move towards my dream.

Reinforcing what I’ve said before signing off, make use of what you have here to bring the best out of yourself and do not be afraid of setbacks as it’s the ups and downs in life that maketh a man (or woman :P). Just do it.


With love,
Diana Ng
